Touchdown Signals

I'd be a bit more selective. For example, if the runner sweeps right and crosses the goal line near the sideline in front of the HL, there really isn't any need for the LJ or even the BJ to signal TD. It's the HL's call so leave it at that. If a pass if complete in the end zone on that side, the BJ and the HL would probably both signal, but again there would be no need for the LJ to mirror the signal from the other side of the field. If it's up the gut either the HL or LJ or both would signal, but we don't need one from the BJ.
